September is a baller month for Bay Area Homebuyers; here’s why

September can be such a lovely month. In real estate, it’s a sweet one. Here’s a quick breakdown of what’s awesome about it and why.

The first, very important point to bring up is motivated buyers!

Buyers out and about in the fall are not messing around. They want to put a ring on it and lock it down. They mean business.

This is largely because people have to get moved before the holidays and winter weather hit. Also, folks know the market is not popping through those times, so it’s now or springtime.

The fact that the market is more serious in the fall is a positive. No one is wishy-washy. Ain’t nobody got time for that.

Buyers have to get where they’re going, so they’re shopping with a sense of urgency. It’s very deliberate.

Negotiating is very straightforward during this time period. You got a house I want? Wham bam, thank you, ma’am. Short, sweet, and to the point.

Buyers know what they want, and sellers are ready for action. They also want to close before the market goes cold.

So both elements are ready to rock. It’s a recipe for success!

Essentially, this is why September is a baller month for the real estate market.

Another wonderful quality that September brings to the real estate table is often super comfortable weather.

This might not sound like something that should matter or be that big of a deal, but when it comes to going to open houses, driving around new neighborhoods, and even the big move, accommodating weather really matters.

Even when you’re in the process of listing your house, it can be hard to get painting done or keep your landscaping from dying in extreme heat or under snow.

Autumn is just a beautiful time of year. Generally, the outside foliage is looking top-notch. It is often, especially here in California, some of the most perfect temperatures.

It is cool enough to enjoy being outdoors, whether working on a home to list it or touring homes you might buy. It is not so cold that it’s unpleasant or unsafe to drive.

It’s an easy time to be moving about and carrying on with life in general.

Whether we’re talking about listing a house or moving, it’s nice to do it when it’s nice outside!

For sellers, September can be an opportunity to catch the eye of buyers who may have missed out on spotting your place during the highly busy seasons of spring and summer.

Buyers who are house shopping and didn’t land anything over the summer are highly motivated and often preapproved, ready to rock.

For sellers, September can be a magical month, where all the pieces come together and things start to go your way.

So let’s seize the moment!

Both sellers and buyers get busy out here. It’s your golden hour, y’all!

And we, for one, cannot wait for spooky season to be in full swing.

The fall is phenomenal. Halloween is right around the corner, and there is so much to look forward to.

Welcome to the “ber” months!
